Welcome! This page hosts the tutorial materials and guides from the first SFXC Workshop, held at JIVE (Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe; JIVE) on 21–23 September 2025.

About the workshop

The SFXC Workshop is designed for VLBI users, correlator operators, and developers interested in software correlation with SFXC. It combines theory sessions with hands-on exercises, covering:

• Fundamentals of SFXC.
• Advanced modes such as wide-field correlation and FRB workflows.
• Technical developments such as GPU-based correlation and future roadmap.
• Open discussions on community needs and pipeline automation.

This site serves as the central hub for tutorial content and step-by-step guides prepared for the workshop. For logistical information please consult the Indico page.
